PRESS RELEASE Contact: Munnie Jordan, Executive Director E: [email protected] T: 870-572-5223 www.kingbiscuitfestival.com FOR RELEASE ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10TH, 2019, AFTER 5 P.M. A video stream of the lineup reveal will take place at https://kingbiscuitfestival.com/unveiling/ Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Delbert McClinton and Ruthie Foster to Headline the 34th Anniversary King Biscuit Blues Festival By Don Wilcock (HELENA, ARKANSAS) -- A veritable Who’s Who of icons, legends, today’s hot finds, and tomorrow’s trend setters Wednesday, October 9 through Saturday, October 12. Four days of bliss on the banks of the Mississippi in historic Helena, Arkansas, will see more than 100 performers ranging from legacy icons to tomorrow’s stars on six stages, taking fans from around the world on a journey that brings the legacy of America’s music to life. The blues were born in Helena’s fertile delta mud, and the festival is built on a heritage that dates back 78 years. Live blues radio started here with Sonny Boy Williamson II and the King Biscuit Boys on KFFA’s King Biscuit Time radio show in 1941. And the threads of that legacy are woven through this year’s lineup. “Time stands still. It really does.” Delbert McClinton, Friday night’s headliner at the 34th annual King Biscuit Blues Festival, describes that moment in a performance where the artist and the fans become one. And the rest of the world disappears. “Ev- erything is just right. Everybody is just pushing in the right place and pulling at the right place. Well, that’s what being a live act is all about. There are no problems. No problems at all. Without ever flinching, you say, ‘Well, you gotta move the mountain. No problem. I’ll get right on it in just a minute.’” More than half a century into his career, Delbert McClinton is a transformative live performer. He’s earned two GRAMMYs in the blues category; he taught John Lennon how to play harp; he duets with Bonnie Raitt on “Good Man, Good Woman,” which won a GRAMMY in Best Rock Performance by a duo or group. “Giving It Up for Your Love” was number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 35 Adult Contemporary. His duet with Tanya Tucker went Top 5 Country. But more important than that, he gives his audience an out-of-body concert experience. His version of “Standing on Shaky Ground” has been stopping shows for decades. The King Biscuit Blues Festival has been making time stand still for 34 years, earning its reputation for being the Holy Grail of blues festivals. You can expect nothing less from Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Saturday night’s headliner. “It’s been my approach to take blues from the foundation and try to take it elsewhere,” says Shepherd, “because you don’t have rock without blues.” With eight number one blues albums and a string of number one rock singles, he is arguably the most successful blues/rock crossover act since Stevie Ray Vaughan. Ruthie Foster, Thursday night’s headliner, is a three-time GRAMMY nominee. “I’m not just singing the blues, I’m singing my own story,” said Foster. When she played the Biscuit in 2015, she said it felt like home. “It’s very warm. It feels like I’m with my people.” Come home again with Ruthie. She added, “It’s my story as a woman that’s grown up with gospel music. It’s really all these different types of genres being raised in Texas. I look at music as in the beginning it really was healing for me in a lotta ways.” Ruthie’s just been nominated for the Blues Foundation’s 2019 Koko Taylor Award for Best Traditional Blues Female Artist of The Year and in February was inducted into the Texas Music Hall of Fame. Rolling Stone says she’s “pure magic to watch and hear.” THE KING BISCUIT LEGACY The Biscuit’s legacy is so palpable you hear it in the wind at dusk and smell it in the barbecue smoking on the back streets. Its threads are everywhere. Friday’s headliner Delbert McClinton met Biscuit patriarch Sonny Boy Williamson at Mother’s Place in Lawton, Oklahoma, in 1961. McClinton was the first white musician to get airplay on local Fort Worth radio station KNOK in 1960. The song? A cover version of Sonny Boy’s “Wake Up Baby.” (Sonny Boy’s King Biscuit Boys were the first black blues act to play live on radio at Helena’s KFFA in 1941.) The relationships between artists playing this year and iconic bluesmen from the past is evident throughout the lineup. Thursday will feature Cedric Burnside, the grandson of R. L. Burnside, who was the patriarch of the Delta’s Hill Country blues. Cedric’s Benton County Relic was nominated for this year’s Best Traditional Blues GRAMMY. Chris O’Leary spent six years in Levon Helm’s Barnburners band. Levon founded the iconic rock band The Band and was a beloved local resident. His influences are on stage everywhere from lifelong friend C. W. Gatlin to The Cate Brothers, whose involvement with Levon dates back to late ’50s. Levon was on their debut album that yielded their biggest hit, “Union Man.” Bob Margolin was Muddy Waters’ lead guitarist and the only original musician participating in the 2017 Last Waltz 40th anniversary tour. His appearance with Bob Stroger and Kenny “Big Eyes” Smith is the closest we’ll get to that incomparable Muddy Waters sound. Billy Branch played harmonica for Willie Dixon’s band. Big George Brock watched Muddy Waters dive into the Mississippi the day he broke away from the Stovall Plantation. Larry McCray tempered his Motor City guitar style with memories of sitting outside of an Arkansas church as a kid listening to the gospel music. Twenty-eight-year-old live blues sensation Marquis Knox brings the electric blues styles of Muddy Waters into the 21st centu- ry. His debut album Manchild was nominated for a Blues Music Award for Best New Artist Debut and earned Living Blues’ Best Debut Artist Award and a Blues Music Award nomination for Best Debut Artist. His second album, Here I Am, was recorded at the legendary Blue Heaven Studios in Salina, Kansas. Paul Thorn all but stole the show from B.B. King at King Biscuit in 2010. He returns this year for his ninth consecutive appear- ance. His 2018 album, Don’t Let The Devil Ride, debuted in the Billboard Top 100 the first week of release. For those searching for Chicago blues, there’s Jimmy Burns, Billy Branch, Mary Laine, D.R. Diamond & Birthright Blues Project, and The Lindsey Alexander Band. Raw Texas guitar has its place as well with Anson Funderburgh and Kirk Fletcher. Memphis sounds have a strong presence as well with Reba Russell, Wampus Cats, The Mighty Souls Brass Band. The list of performers is as diverse as it is long. San Francisco’s Fillmore Slim, aka The Pope of Pimping, will perform Friday on the Lockwood Stage as will the Mississippi Spoonman, who has been known to set his spoons on fire when he plays them. Then there’s Tyrannosaurus Chicken that one journalist described as “madcap sonic alchemists, fusing Delta blues, psychede- lia and trance music with reckless enthusiasm.” The Front Porch Stage is under the auspices of the Delta Cultural Center, and this year celebrates the fifth anniversary of its Blues Bash. Lineup for the Front Porch Stage includes GRAMMY-winning artist Mr. Sipp, aka “Mississippi Blues Child,” and Kenny “Beedy Eyes” Smith. There is no admission fee to this stage. ### KING BISCUIT BLUES FESTIVAL LINEUP 2019 (Gospel and Front Porch Stage to be revealed at a later date) WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9 CeDell Davis Memorial Stage Jesse Cotton Stone - TBA Sonny Boy Williamson Main Stage Mighty Souls Brass Band - 4:00 to 4:45 p.m. Michael Burks Memorial Jam - 6:00 pm until Excelleauxs Blues Band - 5:00 to 5:45 p.m. Mary Lane Band - 6:00 to 6:45 p.m. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10 Rev.

    Big Walter Horton, Blues Harmonica Giant, Classic Sides 1951-1956 (3 CD) Di Bear Family, Uscito Nel 2010, Dopo La Stesura Di Questo Documento

    WALTER HORTON, AN EASY MAN Discografia completa commentata di Sugarbluz Walter Horton nasce il 6 aprile 1918 in una fattoria vicino a Horn Lake, Mississippi, Contea DeSoto, ma nel suo primo anno d’età la famiglia, che include un fratello, Albert, e tre sorelle, Katy, Maggie e Bernice, si trasferisce nella vicina Memphis, Tennessee. Dapprima si dedica al pianoforte, ma poi il suo passatempo preferito diventa accompagnare, con l’armonica che un bel giorno suo padre porta a casa, i 78 giri di blues che girano sul grammofono di famiglia. Dopo due anni di pratica e scomparso da poco il padre Walter decide di contribuire al sostentamento familiare, così comincia a suonare per le strade di Memphis arrivando a guadagnare anche otto dollari al giorno, e in poco tempo tra i musicisti locali si comincia a parlare del piccolo Walter, ed è così che conosce Floyd Jones, Johnny Shines, Jimmy DeBerry. Ad appena nove anni registra con la nota Memphis Jug Band dell’armonicista e chitarrista Will Shade (detto Son Brimmer, probabilmente il suo primo maestro di tecnica insieme a Hammie Nixon, fedele partner di 'Sleepy' John Estes); il dato non è genericamente accettato vista la giovane età, ma l’autore Samuel Charters ritiene che sia vero. Il disco esce per Victor, una delle poche etichette discografiche che riesce a far fronte alla Grande Depressione. La compagnia di Chicago, specializzata nella produzione di grammofoni, diventa proprio in quegli anni una divisione della potente RCA (Radio Corporation of America). Durante la crisi economica abbassa drasticamente i costi di produzione e il prezzo di vendita del disco singolo da 75 a 35 centesimi, spostando nei primi anni 1930 il settore race records su una sussidiaria, Bluebird.
  • THE BIRTH of HARD ROCK 1964-9 Charles Shaar Murray Hard Rock

    THE BIRTH of HARD ROCK 1964-9 Charles Shaar Murray Hard Rock

    THE BIRTH OF HARD ROCK 1964-9 Charles Shaar Murray Hard rock was born in spaces too small to contain it, birthed and midwifed by youths simultaneously exhilarated by the prospect of emergent new freedoms and frustrated by the slow pace of their development, and delivered with equipment which had never been designed for the tasks to which it was now applied. Hard rock was the sound of systems under stress, of energies raging against confnement and constriction, of forces which could not be contained, merely harnessed. It was defned only in retrospect, because at the time of its inception it did not even recognise itself. The musicians who played the frst ‘hard rock’ and the audiences who crowded into the small clubs and ballrooms of early 1960s Britain to hear them, thought they were playing something else entirely. In other words, hard rock was – like rock and roll itself – a historical accident. It began as an earnest attempt by British kids in the 1960s, most of whom were born in the 1940s and raised and acculturated in the 1950s, to play American music, drawing on blues, soul, R&B, jazz and frst-generation rock, but forced to reinvent both the music, and its world, in their own image, resulting in something entirely new. However, hard rock was neither an only child, nor born fully formed. It shared its playpen, and many of its toys, with siblings (some named at the time and others only in retrospect) like R&B, psychedelia, progressive rock, art-rock and folk-rock, and it emerged only gradually from the intoxicating stew of myriad infuences that formed the musical equivalent of primordial soup in the uniquely turbulent years of the second (technicolour!) half of the 1960s.

    “King Biscuit Time”--Sonny Boy Williamson II and others (1965) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Edward Komara (guest post)* Sonny Boy Williamson II This King Biscuit show is about flour and the blues, not about flowers and rock music. “King Biscuit Time” was born when the blues harmonica master Sonny Boy Williamson (1899- 1965, born Aleck Miller) visited the newly opened KFFA radio studios in Helena, Arkansas. Seeing radio as a means of promoting his upcoming performances, Williamson pitched the idea of a regular show during the noon hour when his working audiences were taking their lunch breaks. KFFA agreed, securing Max Moore, owner of the Interstate Grocer Company and King Biscuit Flour, as the sponsor. “King Biscuit Time” debuted on November 21, 1941 at 12:15 pm, with Williamson and guitarist Robert Lockwood playing for 15 minutes. The success was immediate, allowing the musicians to maintain their time-slot every weekday. They were so successful that, in 1947, while the company’s flour bag continued to have its crown, the corn meal bag began to feature a likeness of Williamson sitting on an ear of corn. As the show continued through the 1940s, additional musicians were brought in to create a band behind Williamson. Chief among them were guitarists Joe “Willie” Wilkins, Earl Hooker and Houston Stackhouse, pianists Robert “Dudlow” Taylor, Willie Love and Pinetop Perkins, and drummer Peck Curtis. During the early broadcasts, Sam Anderson and Hugh Smith served as announcers. John William “Sonny” Payne filled in once in 1941, but he returned in 1951, staying on as the “King Biscuit Time” host until his death in 2018.

    Authentic American music with a bona fide, genuine, one-of-a-kind, one-man-band! Willie's roots are in the hills of northern lower Michigan, home to Amish communities and farmers who migrated to the city for jobs at the new horseless-carriage factories early in the 20th century. Willie's grandparents settled in that icon of today's great depression: Flint, the newest home of the blues. He began playing guitar as a teenager and in the 1980's released one record with the punk rock band "Toll". In the 90's he had a commercial success as front man for his blues/rock show band. Their "Something for Everyone" release, included the single "Talk Louder", the classical crossover instrumental "25 Strings", and the popular "Buick City Blues". All three received airplay. "Talk Louder" eventually charted at #15 on the AAA radio charts. After that success, the band went on hiatus for several years and Willie found other work as an artist and actor. The band eventually released a new single titled "Waitin' On You". Then an accident left Willie's left hand paralyzed.

That sobering year of uncertainty inspired Willie to "never take a moment represent Canada at the of life or music for granted".
